Noel’s gloom was also slightly relieved in turn–so what if Cordy won that press conference? Plum was now tearing her a new one!

One slap was enough for Cordy to give Plum a lesson to remember.

“Let me go, Cordy Sachs! You b*tch!” Plum spat angrily. “You’re not setting foot in my house ever again–there’s no place for a b*tch like you! You are a disgrace to our family’s good name!”

Cordy firmly flung Plum’s hand away in response and told her icily, “I’d never put a single foot in your house, but I’ll take everything you have that rightfully belongs to me.”
